7 MAY 2009Reese Witherspoon would need to have her attributes boosted to play Dolly Parton, jokes the voluptuous country sensation.

On learning the attractive blonde was being lined up to star in a bio-pic based on her career, the singer quipped: "We'd have to get her a big ol' boob".

According to Tennessee-born Dolly Scarlett Johansson's figure might be more suited to the part.
